Stone temples of Kashmir are rare architectural marvels. Most of them are deteriorated to
a great extent. Generally scholars attribute their destruction to Sultan Sikander, known as
iconoclast, the desecrator of Hindu Temples in Kashmir, on the basis of historical
chronicles. There are many geologist, on the contrary, who attribute most of these
destructions to the Himalayan Earthquakes. Śarda temple, being one of the same group is
taken as a case in this study to find out the reality. It tries to establish that it is never been
a single or intentional activity but a long list of deteriorating agents that reduced the Śarda
temple into ruins.
